    Question facebook twitter feeds

    just to raise again....


    sorry but I remember this coming up a while ago, I can't really remember the reasoning but I think it was to publicise the site

    But am wondering - it doesn't seem to be bringing in any new members, and to be honest, it kind of stops me from posting new threads (I know, not necessarily a bad thing )

    I don't really want the things I post here to go onto facebook or twitter, and I don't want to put everything in PSF so just don't post some stuff

    Is that just my opinion?

    am definitely more circumspect or go to psf but would feel bad to overload that with relative trivia

    Totally agree, I've never posted alot as it was, now I find myself deleting replies as I don't want them on twitter

    I think the reasoning is that the posts have always been available worldwide for anybody who looks.

    What I don't think has been taken into consideration is that with a facebook/twitter link, then the posts are directly going to show up on the computers of people we know/are related to. People who would probably not have come across the site generally. People, basically, one might moan about.

    I may be being a bit dumb, but why would the posts show up on my friends' feed if they aren't 'friends' with MO? Or would they?

    Re. posts showing on other peoples accounts.

    I was under the impression that if you looked at someone else's account that you could see all the tweets that appeared on there, both those that the tweeter had posted and that other tweeters had posted to them. I may have been wrong.

    They won't show up on your friends feeds unless they are also friends with MO, or if the MO account posts directly to you then they could see it on your profile. If they are following the MO twitter feed then they can see it on there.

    Never been on Twatter do can't comment on that. I removed the MO link to me on FB though as it was irrelevant for me to get them as I'm on here anyway.
